Description
Reggie is one of the most promising executives in the NBA, but as a Black woman in a male-dominated field, she’s had to work twice as hard to get half as far. Now abruptly unemployed, she’s adjusting to home life with a wife and kids she rarely saw while on the job. Between a mother with a secret past, an unemployed brother, and an audacious wife, Reggie is on edge. When an acquaintance from the past appears with an unbelievable job offer, Reggie finds her family has their own agendas in regards to her career.

"The cast is doing some heavy lifting here. They and director Crespo carry Diaz’s intention to keep people complex, and the production holds the audience with its strong performances and smart direction."
"Diaz’ dialogue is sharp, and under Melissa Crespo’s skillful direction, the play is not only emotionally charged but also very funny. "
